About J. R. Guthrie

My father started the company back in 1966. Our initial contract was for the Federal Government to develop the first computerized heath maintenance records system for Native Americans. I went to work for this company in 1974 at 14 years old, and I took it over in 1985. In I co-chaired of our local chapter of the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) along with Ted Frolling from the University of Arizona. That’s when I first learned of Organized Crime and Terrorists extorting money from our local financial institutions. We gave all the data over to our FBI liaison. That’s when I learned that the FBI and law enforcement could do nothing:\"The bank account is in the Cayman Islands and the individual is in Pakistan. There is nothing we can do!\" That when I made it my life\'s goal, to prevent Organized Crime and Terrorists from using my customers computers against us. If I don’t do it, then nobody will! As a Crypto / Ransomware Prevention Specialist, I have spent well over during the last several years researching Crypto / Ransomware prevention techniques. All it takes is one exploitable weakness sometimes to break otherwise good security. No A/V will stop Ransomware when the perps are logged onto your server as an ADMIN. If you are interested, I can go into more detail on these vulnerabilities and fixes.
